Many thanks for following my blog and for providing your history and that of your father-in-law’s colleague, who was treated with strontium for osteoporosis at the Mayo Clinic in 1965. I knew that the Mayo Clinic did some of the earliest research in the U.S. on strontium. In 1959, researchers at the Mayo Clinic investigated the effect of strontium in 32 individuals suffering from osteoporosis (McCaslin, F.E., Jr., and Janes, J.M. The effect of strontium lactate in the treatment of osteoporosis. Proc Staff Meetings Mayo Clin, 1959, 34:329-334). “Each patient received 1.7 grams of strontium per day as strontium lactate. Eighty-four percent of the patients reported marked relief of bone pain, and the remaining 16 percent experienced moderate improvement. No significant side effects were seen, even with prolonged (up to three years) administration of strontium. X-rays taken at the beginning and end of the study showed “probable” increased bone mass in 78 percent of the cases. This is not surprising, considering the symptomatic improvement reported by the patients. Unfortunately, measurement of bone mass in 1959 was pretty crude, leading the researchers to qualify their interpretation of the X-rays.” Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scanning were not available at the time this study was conducted. Because of the “strontium scare” of the 1950s, little follow-up was conducted until nearly 30 years later. <br /><br />http://www.worldhealth.net/news/strontium_breakthrough_against_osteoporo/<br /><br />It is sad, given the clinic’s history, that today the Mayo Clinic recommends only conventional therapy for osteoporosis.<br /><br />BoneLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034636499792659801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-30490391469918638112013-10-31T02:42:43.584-04:002013-10-31T02:42:43.584-04:00Congratulations, BoneLady!

My osteoporosis was not severe, but my numbers improved 5% in a year on SC, increasing to where they had been three years before. My osteoporosis doc was stunned; she was assuming after the DXA she was going to have to tell me to I needed to start taking one of the conventional drugs. "Improvement is not supposed to happen without pharmacological intervention," she said. <br /><br />BTW, my late father-in-law, who chaired the department of pharmacology at a large New England medical school, told me that in 1965 a colleague of his had gone to the Mayo Clinic with severe osteoporosis and had been treated with strontium citrate, which he took for years.The fractures and pain stopped and he did fine.Anitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-41665226718694955282013-10-01T10:17:45.104-04:002013-10-01T10:17:45.104-04:00LoriE,

I am spending a lot of time creating this page:<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/CleanWaterSonomaMarin<br /><br />My initial interest in fluoride came because it's bad for bones, but after reading 7 books and hundreds of articles, I now know it's bad for the thyroid, the brain, glucose metabolism, and even for the teeth--and it does NOT reduce tooth decay. Water fluoridation was a scheme to get rid of thousands of tons of toxic fluoride waste created by metal refining and building atomic bombs. So if you are drinking fluoridated water or using fluoride toothpaste, you might want to reconsider.<br /><br />I am still taking strontium, though I am not quite as consistent as I was for the first 5 years. But when I stop for more than a couple weeks, my sacroiliac pain returns. A few days on SC, and it's gone!lilypadsnoreply@blogger.com
